the photos and video provided by the san francisco public utilities commission. the process is similar to how your freezer at homeworks. coolant was pumped through the pipes which then froze the ground, creating a massive cylinder of frozen earth. >> like having a glass underground. a solid wall and bottom which gives you the stability you need to be able to excavate the shaft. it took about 8 weeks to freeze the ground and work began on excavating the shaft. every five feet they reenforced the walls with wood and steel so the concrete could be poured. it took four days to install each section. this is is where a massive tunneling machine will exit. when competed it h will be the longest built on the bay and unlike the transbay tube the new tunnel is actually carved out of the earth.

the new tunnel will replace old pipes built in 1925 and 1936. engineers say the old pipes won't is survive a major earthquake. a failure here would jeopardize the water supply for millions of people from the east bay to san francisco who get water from the reservoir in yosemite national park. the new bay tunnel is designed to withstand a major quake on either the san andreas or hayward faults. >> we hope to be through to the shaft by early next year. >> maureen berry is with the san francisco public utilities commission. the agency is responsible for the water system. in 2002, voters approved a $4.6 million bond measure to overhaul the aging system. >> we are actually about 83% finished with the tunneling so about 5,000 feet to go. exciting point. we can actually say because of this project and the other ones that we have been able to accomplish in the past year that the system is seismically a lot stronger than it was even a year ago.
